When Lily Ebert was around 4 years old, her mother, Mrs.Ebert gave her a tiny gold pendant(吊坠). When she was 14, her elder brother hid it playfully, along with a couple of pieces of their mother’s jewelry, inside the heel（鞋后跟）of their mother’s shoe. The pendant still has a tiny mark from where it was hit by one of the nails． It was late 1944, and because of the Second World War, the Eberts were being forced to give up any objects of value and fled from place to place.They firstly were forced to live in the refugee(难民) camp in their hometown．Then Lily Ebert, together with her family，was led into a dark, airless cattle truck with 70 or 80 others．

The small man waiting as they came off the train was Dr. Josef Mengele, and the place was Auschwitz．With one movement，he sent people to the right or left．Her mother and brother were sent left，straight to what the survivors later found out was the gas chamber(毒气室)，and never came out．She and her remaining two sisters

were sent to the right．

To Lily Ebert，the pendant and her mother’s jewelry accompanied her just like her mother，shining her darkest days．The refugee camp’s supply of wooden shoes ran out．Then, when the heel wore away,

Lily Ebert hid her pendant and other jewels inside her daily piece of bread．If she had been caught，she would have been killed immediately．But she took the risk，because they were the only things her mother left her. After the war, Lily Ebert gave her mother’s jewelry to her sisters. She continues to wear the pendant to this day．

“Not only did I survive,” said Lily Ebert，sweetly and humorously，“but my jewelry that they didn’t want me to keep, survived with me. I face up to the experience now.”

24. Why did Lily Ebert’s brother hide the pendant in the heel? A．To keep it safe． B．To make a joke． C．to possess the pendant. D. To have a mark on it． 25. What can we learn from paragraph 3 ?

A．Lily Ebert and her sisters were sent to hospital． B．Dr. Josef Mengele was arrested finally． C．Most people died on the way to the station． D．Mrs. Ebert and her son were killed．

26. What did Lily Ebert in Auschwitz regard the pendant and the jewelry as ?

Nature will provide a key warning sign just before the Yellowstone volcano’s eruption（爆发），according to a surprising documentary(纪录片)．

The supervolcano，located in Yellowstone National Park in the US, has erupted three times in history：2.1 million years ago, 1.2 million years ago and 0,000 years ago．Scientists have previously warned how they may have as little as two weeks to prepare a removal(搬迁) before an earthquake occur．However，despite predictive technology，nature could prove to be the most valuable indicator of a coming eruption.

YouTube channel Underworld produced a mini-series called“What If Yellowstone Erupted Tomorrow ?”, providing an understanding of what could happen．

4页

Referring to an eruption，the documentary stated：“Before the eruption，there would be serious warning signs．Powerful earthquakes would be evident from unusual behavior from animals．This would be a big clue even before the ground began to swell．Eventually one of the earthquakes would break the layer of rock that holds the magma(岩浆)in．Flights would then be grounded in the US and maybe even the world-life would come to a stop． Yellowstone National Park holds a wide variety of wild animals，including bison，bears，sheep，mountain goats and many more．The last time Yellowstone erupted, 2,500 times more volcanic material was produced than in the 1980 eruption of Mount St Helens. This created a mass of erupted material so that it covered about 60 percent of the US in a thick layer of ash．Should this happen again? It is likely that the animals would escape from the area for safety，but they would struggle to make it out alive． 28. What does paragraph 2 intend to tell us ?．

A．The Yellowstone volcano has erupted four times so far． B．Nature is a better indicator of an eruption． C．Predictive technology gives effective warnings． D．Scientists can warn long before an earthquake happens．

29．What do the underlined words “Flights would then be grounded” mean? A．Flights would come to the ground．

B．Flights would be controlled from the ground． C．Flights would be stopped．

D．Flights would be buried in the ground． 30．What can we learn from the text ?

A．Predictive technology is more effective at warning signs than nature． B．An earthquake and a volcano eruption will happen together． C．Animals are more sensitive to danger than humans． D．People can avoid a disaster if they know nature’s warnings． 31．What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text?

A．To give people some useful information about volcanoes． B．To inform readers about the Yellowstone volcano． C．To tell readers how animals behave before an earthquake． D．To call on people to pay attention to nature’s warning signs．

snap a shot of a celebrity(名人). They are paparazzi－photographers who make a living by taking pictures of the rich and famous.

This September, California, a state with plenty of celebrities, passed a law aimed at taking action against paparazzi. The law forbids photographers from entering private property to take pictures, from using high-tech devices(设备) to take pictures of people on private property, and from “persistently(一直) following in order to take a picture”. Violators(违反者) can be fined or spend time in prison. The United State Congress is considering passing a similar law.

Supporters of the California law say it will protect the privacy of celebrities, whom paparazzi have been bothering for years. Opponents(反对者) say the law restricts() photo-journalists from doing their job.

Most celebrities seem to like having their pictures taken when they are in public at award shows or other events. After all, it’s free publicity. But when they’re not in public, they say, photographers should leave them alone. Yet paparazzi have been known to secretly look in windows and worse. Actor Michael J. Fox said that paparazzi have even “tried to pretend to be medical personnel at the hospital where my wife was giving birth to our son”.

Celebrities have as much right to their privacy as anyone else, supporters of the law state. Supporters further argue that the California law is a fair way to keep the press from getting worse, because the law still allows photographers to do their job. It only punishes them, supporters say, when they violate celebrities’ privacy.

Opponents of the law say it violates(违反) the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which guarantees that no laws will be made to limit “the freedom of speech, or of the press”. Although some people might not consider paparazzi a part of the legal press, the California law does not single out paparazzi. It applies to photographers working for any publication. Opponents of the law are also concerned about its wording. “Does ‘persistently’ mean following someone for six minutes, six seconds, or six days?” asked lawyer Douglas Mirell. The wording of the law is too vague（含糊的）, critics complain, and could be used to punish almost any news photographers.

The United States needs a free press to keep the public informed about important news, paparazzi law opponents say. Limiting the press in any way, they argue, limits the freedom of all. 32.Which of the following will be considered illegal by the new California law?

A. Paparazzi hiring helicopters as a fast means of transportation. B. Paparazzi rushing towards filming sites on motorcycles.

C. Paparazzi taking photos of famous people with high-tech cameras. D. Paparazzi slipping into the house of a famous person to take a picture. 33. Supporters of the new law believe that ____________ .

A. privacy of famous people needs special protection B. it prevents the media from getting worse C. it gives photographers a fair way to compete D. punishment forces paparazzi to quit their job

34. Opponents of the new law are concerned that ____________ .

A. some photographers will be wrongly accused

6页

B. people will not be informed of important news C. the First Amendment will be changed D. it will violate paparazzi’s privacy

35. What is the author’s attitude towards the new California law?

A. Approving B. Critical C. Neutral D. doubtful 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分,满分10分）

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There is nobody in this world who never faced a failure. Having a failure does not matter, and what actually matters is, how we deal with this failure. 36 . Acknowledge the failure

It’s important to acknowledge failure in your life when it happens. 37 , so that you can approach the situation in a new way for success in the future．

Create a map that will help translate failure into Success

When faced with failure, it can be difficult to convince ourselves to move forward. This is especially true if the failure that you were faced with was large．No matter what the size of your failure is，don’t be afraid and chart out each of your decisions. Which ones worked? Which ones were unsuccessful? 38 , you can begin to replace those actions with better ones that will translate into success． Accept responsibility for your role in the failure

39 ．When faced with failure，you may choose to blame your failure on an external(外部的) factor or on another person．Although this will help you feel better in the short-term，it won`t help you to recognize your own role in the failure．Only by recognizing your role in the failure will you be able to do better next time! 40 The failure may cause you to get down on yourself and to feel less confident than usual．During times like these, it is important to remember that failure is not the end of the world．Reflect on past successes to remind yourself that you are more than capable of achieving whatever it is that you set your sights on． A. Focus on past failures

B. Remind yourself of past failures and successes C. Once you’ve identified what didn’t work out
